Deep satisfaction

I find a recurring battle going on in my spirit right now. While I am pretty sure of the way through it, the battle isn’t any less intense. The feelings are raw and real for me. I spent 30 years in ministry. While I still feel “called” in ministry, I have entered a new ministryContinue reading “Deep satisfaction”

Goals for 2022 Continued

My goal for 2022: Create more mess

Resolved for 2015: Living a life of repentance

Two words the Lord gave me for our church and for my own life going into 2015: 1. Transformation 2. Multiplication Transformation is best summed up in these words of Jesus (from the Common English Bible): 17 From that time Jesus began to announce, “Change your hearts and lives! Here comes the kingdom of heaven!” (Matt. 4:17)Continue reading “Resolved for 2015: Living a life of repentance”
